Won my seat, now what?

[AcesUp2121]

Last night I won my main event seat through Stars. Today I receive an email from them stating that I have to essentially make all the accomodations myself. With the event less than 2 weeks away, and with the inconsistencies of paper checks, how should I go about getting this money as fast as possible? Does Stars do bankwires? Also, if you feel this question would be better answered in a different forum, please let me know.

What money? The $1000? I do Western Union. Takes 2 days.

Unlike previous years, Stars is giving you everything in cash. They put $11k in my account this morning and it's my job to get it in my hands in time for the event.

In all honesty, their checking takes far far less than 15 days. I get mine within the week of cashing out.

I wounder how many who will actually play in the event when they only pay the winners cash to the accounts instead of regging for you...

Send an email to wsop@pokerstars.com

They have set up special withdrawing rules for people who have won WSOP seat and need money fast.

If you think its too short to get everything set-up for the main event you can actually decide not to play it. They don't force you to play it at all.
